Chapter 68: Capturing Qu Tongfeng Again (Supplement 2)
After a fight, Han Baihang's soldiers gradually gained the upper hand. Hand-to-hand combat relied on strong will and strong morale. At this point, the First Division was far inferior to Han Baihang's soldiers. In fact, most of Han Baihang's soldiers were newly recruited.
Many of the prisoners of the Anhui Army were originally soldiers of the First Division. Now they turned their guns, but they broke out with extraordinary fighting power, beating the old troops to the bitter end. The main reason for this was that Han Baihang dared to take the lead, and he, the supreme commander, could
Fighting side by side with soldiers on the front line is a huge boost to morale. And being on the battlefield, he can clearly understand the battle situation and make the most rapid command, just like the hand-to-hand combat just now.
From the remote control command on the mountain behind, even if he saw a gap in the enemy's army, he still had to pass the order step by step. By the time the order reached the battlefield, the battle situation would have been completely different, thus missing the opportunity to fight. With one ebb and flow, victory was natural.
Incline towards Han Baihang.
"kill!"
There was only a few hundred square meters of standing space on the top of the hill. Han Baihang's soldiers knocked down the First Division with all their strength. Without a foothold, the First Division suddenly attacked from behind, and the ring fortifications they built fell into Han Baihang's hands in an instant.
In his hand, Han Baihang was not polite, and ordered the troops to turn their machine guns and fire violently at the first division that was attacking in darkness on the hillside. More than ten light and heavy machine guns roared, and the hail of flying bullets swept down a large area in an instant, including countless people.
Screaming, he rolled down the hillside like a gourd, knocking down many people behind him. When the soldiers of the First Division saw him, many of them showed timid looks.
Qu Tongfeng watched helplessly as the top of the mountain was thrown away. He couldn't help shouting with splitting eyes, "Take the top of the mountain back for me."
The generals also knew the seriousness of losing this hilltop and rushed to mobilize their troops. They wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of Han Baihang on the mountain and storm back to regain the position. This idea is completely advisable, but there are many problems in execution. It is still the same old saying just now, layer by layer.
The disadvantage of high-level command is that it delays the opportunity for fighters. Before they could organize a counterattack, Han Baihang launched the charge first. Countless soldiers with bayonets rushed from the top of the mountain to the soldiers of the First Division on the hillside. Their strong morale and vigor, combined with their condescending attitude,
, the offensive momentum was overwhelming, and the first division was routed back and forth. It lost all morale to fight back. After a while, it was driven into the ravines of the valley. Thousands of people crowded into a group. Those in front retreated, and those behind
People were pushing forward and it was chaotic.
The battle achieved considerable results. Han Baihang was not too greedy for credit. Considering that the First Division still had strength, they would never be willing to lose the important military location on the mountain. They would definitely fight back fiercely. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, he hurriedly mobilized his troops.
Shrunk back, built some more around the ring fortifications, and waited quietly for the first division to attack.
Having lost the hilltop, the First Division now only has the last hilltop highland in its hands. Although this highland has the highest altitude for several miles and is very steep, an isolated highland is not enough to defend. At this time, the First Division
Thousands of men and horses were compressed in the valley below the high ground. At this density, if Han Baihang had artillery in his hands, the casualties would definitely be heavy.
Qu Tongfeng angrily yelled at the supervising captain: "Behead the regiment commander who escaped before the battle, and show his head to the whole army. I, the commander-in-chief, will show no mercy to those who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
The war supervising captain hurriedly went to the crowd and pulled out the regiment leader who had just been defending the high ground. Two big and round supervising team members cut the regiment leader's arms behind his back and escorted him to the front of the position. The war supervising captain personally picked up the big knife and slashed with it.
The head flew several meters away, and blood spurted two meters high from the broken neck, staining the entire body of the supervising captain.
The bloody war captain walked over and raised the beheaded leader's head, shouting sternly to the surrounding officers and soldiers: "Attack, attack, whoever dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers of the First Division were shocked by the bloody scene of beheadings before the battle. No one wanted to be the sword of the supervising team. As the officers shouted and drove away, the soldiers shouted and rushed up the hillside.
The machine gun on board suddenly roared and opened, and the roaring rain of bullets swept down countless people. The remaining people braved the rain of bullets and rushed to the hillside. A loud shout of killing suddenly erupted from the top of the hill, and hundreds of counterattack troops jumped
After leaving the fortifications, they rushed down and got into a fight with the attacking troops of the First Division. The two sides fought desperately, and people fell down one after another. Seeing that the killings were getting less and less, a bugle sounded from the top of the mountain, and the counterattacking troops
They quickly got out of their stance, turned around and ran back. The first division was furious. How could they let people escape so easily? They immediately raised their guns and fired randomly, knocking down many people. In the end, only about 20 people retreated into the fortifications.
Being blocked by the counterattack force, the offensive energy that the First Division had finally mustered plummeted. Without the crazy energy they had at the beginning, they continued to rush upward in the rain of bullets until they reached two-thirds of the hillside.
, a group of 100 counterattack troops once again rushed out of the fortifications on the top of the mountain, and the two sides knelt again. The fight at this time showed that the first division's offensive was weak.
There were many knowledgeable people among the generals of the First Division, and they couldn't help but sigh: "The enemy is so cunning, and they use the tactics of repeated defeats and three exhaustions. They block attacks with small groups in order to wear down our offensive."
, attacking high ground relies on a single burst of energy. Without that vigor, this attack will probably be in vain."
Qu Tongfeng's face was livid, the enemy's blades in the rear had already pierced into his bones. If he couldn't break out quickly, he would have no choice but to sit back and wait for death.
"Continue to attack from the rear. I don't want you to capture the hilltop, but you must stop the enemy's attack. The frontline troops immediately organize an attack. Why can the enemy easily break through our position, but you can't take the enemy's position? No generals below me want it.
Stay by my side, and all go to the front line for me to sit together. When the company commander retreats, kill the battalion commander. If the battalion commander retreats, kill the regiment commander. If the regiment commander retreats, kill the brigade commander! Kill with a knife!" Qu Tongfeng said this!
The words were so murderous that the generals felt a chill on the backs of their necks. The head of the beheaded leader was hanging on a flagpole, and his dead eyes were empty and gray, seeming to tell people that this was their fate.
The generals left in a hurry, leaving Qu Tongfeng standing alone on the top of the mountain. The mountain wind blew his body cold and he couldn't help but shiver. The adjutant on the side saw it and hurriedly took the general's cloak and put it on him
on the shoulders.
Qu Tongfeng tightened his cloak and knitted his thick eyebrows together. Hearing the shouts of killing in the distance made him feel confused. He tried his best to calm himself down and turned his brain to think of good ways to defeat the enemy, but his numb brain was full of confusion.
What came instead was a splitting headache and dizziness. All the military books he had read so well on weekdays were now gone. He couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. Looking at the smoke billowing from the battlefield and covering the sun, he fell into deep despair.
